Itobert Graves Cnlls Attention to the tict
That Most of Our Speakers

WAsniKOTOV OLt 12 Who will be
speaker of the house is the most inter

national capital now have to consider It
is a question whicli cannot 1 answered
for some sixty days Early in December
the majority of the house will choose the
thirtysecond man to be honored Tiy elec
tion to preside over the popular branch of
the American congress There have been
thirty one speakers of the house beginning
with F A Muhlenberg and ending with
Thomas B Keed A remarkable tiling
about the speakership is the yotitiifulnes3
of the men who have been elected to it
TIIH GAILKIiY OK SPEAKERS
One would not hit upon this as a post
to which young men might with propriety
aspire inasmuch as it is an honor often
given for long service or won with the
strength acquired through years of toil
and leadership Yet the inexplicable fact
is tiiat a majority of the speakers were
under forty years of age at the lime of
their election The average age was about
fortythree years Only four men beyond
fifty have been elected speaker and only
one who had passed the sixtieth mile post

SICnLEXBEKO THE rll T PEAEER
Henry Clay is the only man who was
elected speaker of the house the lirst day
be came into it but he had been though
only thirtjfour twice elected to the Ken
tucky house of representatives once as
speaker thereof and twice senator of the
United States Robert C Winthrop was
only thirtyeight when he was elected
speaker but he was then serving I1L5 fifth
term iu the house He afterward went
to the senate and his brilliant career as a
public man came to a close at fortytwo
an age at which most men begiu to aspire
to political honors
From Clays first appearance in the house
in 1S15 till the beginning of the civil war
appears to have lieen the golden era for
young men iu congress Clay himself not
much more then a boy in years and appear
ance was a brilliant orator in both senate
and house an able presiding officer a great
debater and political leader He used to
leave the chair and go upon the floor of the
house to make speeches It was in this
way that he put through the second Mis
souri compromise which made him a can
didate for the presidency at fortythree In
the thirtyfour years of the period I bavo
just named only two men above forty
years were chosen to preside over the house
and these two were but fortythree and
fortysix
Among the young leaders of this period
were Philip Barbour who afterward went
to the senate and had a creditable career
ohn Bel who became a candidate for the
presidency and who was an influential
public man for nearly twenty years An
drew Stevenson of Virginia who stands
nest to Clay in number of times elected
speaker and in lime served and who was
afterward five years minister to England
James K Iolk afterward president of the
United States Robet Winthrop the great
orator Howell Cobb who wa4 aflertvaid
secratary of the treasury and brilliant
youag Hunter who wrs in congress a
twentyeight spcikcr at thiry in the sen
ate at thirtyeight there remaining four
teen years withdrawing to become Con
fedorate States senator and Coufederata
secretary of state

ersbit not one is a youug mfn compnretl
with tho youthfulness of the Speakers of
the past I do not know bow old Mr Mills
is and cannot find any one who does know
Mr Mills is one of the few men who refuse
to state their age or permit it to be stated
in biographical sketches He is probably
about fiftyfire which is Mr Springers
oge Mr WiisoD is fortyeight Mr Mo
Millin fortysix and Mr Crisp trill be forty
seven next January
It is a somewhat remarkable fact that
only fourteen of the fortyeight states now
in the raion have had a speaker of the
bouse Of curu Kentucky and Virginia
the mothers of presidents statesmen and
orators are at the top of the list I have
compiled a table which shows at a glance
the manner in which speakership honors
have been geographically distributed

Total 31 102
Kentucky stands so far in the lead be
cause or the repeated reelection of Clay
Carlisle and Boyd Stevensons long serv
ice puts Virginia ahead of Massachusetts
Chance has played some queer freaks in its
distribution of speakership honors The
four great states of Xew York Pennsyl
vania Illinois and Ohio which now com
prise more than onefourth the population
of the country have had only iivespeakcrs
Illinois indeed has had none at all No
state west of the Mississippi has had a
speaker nor any state admitted since 1S10
with the single exception of Maine
Of the thirtyone speakers the portraits
of twentynine hang in tho members lobby
of the house of representatives Au effort
has been made to gather here portraits of
them all but as yet no likeness ot Speaker
Taylor of New York has been discovered
and the portrait of Speaker Heed will not
be hung for some months yet A majority
TIirEE GREAT SPEAKEIis
of these portraits are wretched crayons
made from old daguerreotypes worn and
faded
Still this gallery of speakers Ls worth
looking at and attracts much atteution
from visitors to the Capitol An admira

first speaker sitting in a great chair with
a quill in his fingers The best of the lot
is the full length picture of Winthrop

with a coat just ready to fall off his shoul
ders and a collar which sadly shows the
effects of hot weather Linn Boyd is a
haudsome Kentuckiau while Barbour suf

Bell is given the face of a tragedian in a
comedy company White has a melancholy
face He is the only speaker who commit
ted suicide having made ivay with him

which attracts much attention is that of
Dayton with its queer profile and great
wig Stevenson is a calm old gentleman
whose chin rests as ou a cushion iu his
ample choker Banksis full length in

In the center of the gallery on the man

A Well Played Came Well Attrmletl iu
Dallas Yesterday
The football match between teams rep
resenting Dallas and Fort Worth was
played yesterday afternoon at the Oak Cliff
baseball park Tho day although slightly
warm for such a sport was dear
and about live hundred people at
tracted by the posters displayed on
the bill boards throughout the city
attended the game The teams lined up
promptly at 4 oclock the Dallas team in
blue aud the Fort AVorths iu crimson uni
forms Both teams made a pretty sight as
they marched on the field The Dallas
team appeared tObe a little the heavier of
the two The meu lined up at the call of
timo as follows
Dallas Iort Worth
Griaith Forwards Smith
Gamon Forwards Barton
Lorch Forwards Fenoa
Forbes Forwards Strong
Stewart Forwards Messer
Kerr Forwards Day
IJassett Forwards Chamberlin
Henry Forwards
Kobertson Forwards
Gilmore Quarterbacks JIartin
Stewart ljuarterbacks Moore
Hitchie Halfbacks Brookman
Mere weather Halfbacks Fife

Fraser Hack Kaufman
Fort Worth iiad the ball at the beginning
of the first half aud by a long punt sent it
well into the ememys territory but Dallas
quickly returned it and then a number of
rushes advanced the ball towards the Dallas
goal The Fort Worth team thence forced
the playinsc and kept the ball well
up the field until Dallas by a
pretty side run down the field
made the first touchdown in about fifteen
minutes but failed to kick the goal After
the kickoff both sides played strongly
without gaining any more > oiiits until time
was called for the first half
Both teams looked quite fresh when they
lined up for the second half and began to
play with a great deal of snap Fort Worth
forcing Dallas to touch the ball back
Towards the end of this half Dallas made
another try at goal after which 110 more
points were scored and the gamo ended
with the score Dallas 2 tryatgoas Fort
Worth 0
The gamp considering the lack of train
ing 011 the part of both clubs was a pretty
and interesting match and the teams were
very evenly matched The Fort Worth club
excelled in team work but were somewhat
slow in tackling while the Dallas team
comprised some very lino individual play
ers A return match will probably be ar
ranged for at Fort Worth at no late day

Philadelphia Record
The Baldwin Locomotive works of Phil
adelphia has just completed for the freight
service of the Erie railway the largest com
pound locomotive in the world The weight
of the engine is 135000 pounds exclusive of
the tender It has three pairs of driving
wheels sixtytwo inches in diameter
The weight resting on these wheels
which is the measure of the
nower of the locomotive is 107000 pounds
its lencth is fiftysix feet and height six
teen feet It is expected that this engine
can be run at a saving of from 30 to 40 per
cent over the sam size singleexpansion
engine But after all the Eries now loco
motive will not appear so big when the
Baldwin company has constructed for the
same company live new ones which are to
weigh 177000 pounds each
A Itull in a China Shop
There could be no better proof of the as
cendency of tho Baltimore and Ohio in the
management of the Ohio and Mississippi
road than the announcement of a Slcent
rate on flour from St Louis to Baltimore
for export which of course means the same
rate on corn This is only a
drop of 4 cents in the rate but it
is quite enough to make a great
deal of trouble Flour is moving as usual
but the corn movement from the West to
the seaboard has not yet begun and it will
take the same rate as flour when it does
commence to come The impression Is that
a leading firm of Baltimore grain dealers
have already bought up a lot of corn in the
West aud that they want to expedite the
> > v ji j4fev r v fce rtVfjEae i v sSfe < sVs
movement They have taken it in a dis
trict where it matuies early aud they
will be able to start it eastward
sooner than the roads which control the
Iowa and the Missouri crop Tho low rate
however does not bother tho managers half
so much as the chance of the corn going
forward so much faster than it can be
loaded for foreisn shipment that their cars
will be held waiting on the sidetracks when
they need them most The small amount
paid for demurrage is trifling as compared
with the profit which they could make if
they had all their cars iii use on their own
lines There will probably be a vigorous
protest against a policy which threatens
loss to other companies in this way If the
grain were coming to this port there would
be no troubie whatever for it could be
quickly handled at New York Wall

His Wifes Pride
Wilmington Morning News
The wife of an employe of the Pennsyl
vania railroad gave a very amusing exhibi
tion of family pride in a dry goods store a
few days ago Her husband is a very tall
thin man the chest measure of his clothing
is small and when he buys underclothing
he gets the smallest sizes His wife is a
very large woman She had gone into a
store to purchase underclothing lor her
husband and while standing at the counter
examining the roods a little bit of a woman
came in and seeing the goods being dis
played said
That is what I want some undershirts
for niy husband No SiS please
Vhat numBer will you havefsaid the
salesman addressing the first woman
No 3S please was the reply
The two women bought the same sized
garments one buying for a bigchested aud
the other for a narrowchested man When
the latter took her purchase home and dis
played it to her husband he was astonished
to find the shirt so big Hesaid
What the did you buy such big
shirts fori
Because
Well because what I cant wear
them
I dont care I was not going to stand
alongside of a little bit of a woman and buy
shirts for a little bit of a man when she
was buying shirts for a great big one If
you havent any pride I have thats why I
bought the big shirts
FOOLISH ITALIANS
They Denounce a Conservative Kepreieat

of Italian citizens was held today to
protest against the action of Count Manas
sora Di Costigliole Italian consul in Chica
go and sustain Oscar Durantios paper
LTtalia in its position of
antagonism to that official The
paper in question has attacked
the consul for his conservative attitude in
regard to the Mafia lynching episode in New
Orleans and also charges him with disloy
alty in failing to raise the Italian flag on
the 20th of September in order that parad
ing Italian so ieties might salute it
The meeting adopted resolutions con
demning the consul lor his socalled ncirlect
and declaring that his jiosition had been
made worse by the misrepresentations ol a
libelous venal and antiItalian pres = >
which had attacked two liberal Italian pa
pers Lltalia and 11 Ficanso which had told
real truth There were those present who
explained that the consul had hired a man
to raise the Italian colors September 20
ami that lie was not to blame for their non
appearance but the explanation seemed
only to excite the crowd more Impassioned
speeches were made in which the sentiment
was freely expressed that the consul should
be recalled or transferred to some other
point Count di Costigliole has many friends
among his countrymen here They held a
meeting last Sunday in whicli they in
dorsed that officials action
NEW CONSUMPTION CUR
Dr John l lake White Claims a Wonder
ful Discovery
New Youk Oct 20 The gold with
manganese cure for consumption has been
liberally experimented with in the hospitals
here with the best results leading John
Blake White M D its discoverer and head
of staff at Charity hospital to divulge the
details of the treatment It has already
cured several cases Dr White said today
after explaining the treatment in full
I think I may say that the virtue of the
subcutaneous administration of gold and
manganese in the treatment of tuberculosis
is my own discovery I believe that the
value of gold as a therapeutic airent espe
cially iu phthisis is enhanced by the addi
tion of iodide of manganese
Ail of the patients whom I have treated
with this remedy were reduced physically
and manifested extensive pulmonary
lesions The nutrition uniformly improved
and in some of the cases tho expectoration
was remarkably decreased
The rapid gain in body weight in several
instances was remarkable following im
provement in the appetite and the functions
of digestion and assimilation The im
provement in the respiration does not ap
pear so rapidly as the other indications of
benefit though the cough and expectora
tion are soon lessened fewer rales and less
pronounced dullness over effected areas are
evidences of amelioration wnich are not
long to supervene
The new treatment excites profound in

miracle every Friday Mrs Mary Stuck
enberg recently converted to the Roman
Catholic faith and married to a communi
cant became so enthusiastic in her re
ligious experiences about five months ago
that she fell into a trance aud saw unut
terable things Drops of blood oozed from
the palm of each hand and the in = tep ot
each foot and when friendly women un
dressed her they found blood on her left
side just below the heart
The wounds of the blessed Saviour
was their exclamation Her family kept
the matter a secret however for a week
but on the next Friday there was another
trance and more oozing of blood And so
it has gone on for five months and now
the house and yard will not hold the people
who come there every Friday afternoon
According to the wise caution of the
church Bishop McCloskey and the wom
ans confessor Father Raffo discourage
all excitement and decline to give any
opinion till the case is thoroughly investi
gated
